Tropical Storm Edouard heads for Texas and Louisiana while a storm moves toward Hawaii
Tropical Storm Edouard made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border, downgrading to a depression after causing heavy rains and strong winds across parts of Texas. The city of Beaumont, 80 miles northeast of Houston, experienced downed trees blocking roads, non-functioning traffic signals, and flooded underpasses. About 32,000 utility customers in Jefferson County, including Beaumont, were left without electricity.
The storm brought 3 to 7 inches of rain, with up to 12 inches in certain areas. Meanwhile, Hurricane Lowell in the Pacific was expected to remain far from Hawaii, with swells potentially affecting the islands starting Wednesday. Tropical Storm Marie was expected to become a hurricane by Wednesday night, impacting southwestern Mexico and the Baja California peninsula.
